Gather Round Children

C        G7       C           F           C
She lies there so peaceful in her eternal sleep
     F          C       A7        D7          G7
With wreaths of flowers  from her head to her feet
  C                         F                C
A gown of gold she wears to match her silver hair
  F                       C
A peaceful smile upon her face
               G7       C    F
That shows her heavenly grace

C                                   F        C
Come gather round children bow your head and pray
     F            C        A7          D7        G7
Come gather round children  while they lay momma away
    C                                      F               C
She gave us all her good years oh Lord she gave us all her best
     F            C
Come gather round children
           G7                        C
While they lay our precious momma to rest

                            F                 C
Now dad he's waited so long for momma to join him
F                C    A7  D7      G7
And on her right lies  my brother John
         C
On dad's left lies my sister
         F                         C
A flower taken Lord while still in bloom
  F                       C    G7            C
I know we'll miss her but Lord they'll be so glad to see her
F                 C
Come on now let's sing it
